The game's stability is heavily criticized due to frequent control bugs, with players reporting that placement mechanics often fail to work, leading to frustration and inconsistent gameplay experiences.
“I won't recommend this game. The controls are buggy, even with the controls being so simple! It says 'click to place,' but it doesn't work 95% of the time, even when it's highlighted green. When you do manage to place an object, there's a 50/50 chance it will just float off before you can place anything else.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress. I've lost hours of gameplay due to unexpected shutdowns.”
“I experienced constant lag and stuttering, which ruined the overall experience. Stability is a major issue that needs to be addressed.”
